Is it going to snow in Philadelphia?

game

Mother Nature may have just passed herself off as one Eagles fan.

The weather looks set to have an impact on Sunday divisional round clash between Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams. With a trip to the NFC Championship Game on the line, both sides will be watching the forecast closely as they prepare for the elements.

The Aries makes the trip from the warmer weather of the West Coast to deal with the cold reality of the Northeast. The Eagles will hope that’s another advantage that their home field can give them, especially for their run-heavy offense.

Snow is expected to play a role before, during and after the game. While the accumulation doesn’t appear to be a major concern, it could develop depending on how the radar breaks.

Predictions will be a theme on Sunday thanks to a pair of outdoor matchups on Sunday. The Bills and Ravens are also prepared to handle at least some cold weather in Western New York. Here’s what you need to know about the weather on Sunday Eagles vs. Rams NFL playoff game.

Eagles vs. Ram’s weather updates

Inclement weather will affect the game at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday afternoon.

The temperatures during Sunday’s game – which starts at 15 ET – will hover around freezing. Along with the snow expected to fall, it looks like Mother Nature will have a lot to say.

Although the temperatures and snow promise to be a problem, the same cannot be said for the wind. At around 10 mph, neither team should have to worry too much about the wind during their playoff matchup.

Will it snow in Philadelphia on Sunday?

While Philadelphia won’t look like a snow globe or a winter wonderland on Sunday, there will be enough to make an impact. There is a 96% chance of precipitation, with at least an inch of snow expected to fall.

The snow will continue during the Eagles vs. Rams, which could have an impact on the field. Equipment managers will have their work cut out for them, and footing is an obvious concern if the ground gets slippery.
